To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future? (lemmy.world)

Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @[email protected].””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

If they have any access to data through federation they could have just quitely made a small instance and stolen all the data. So while I 100% won't be creating an account over there, and might block the instances myself, I don't see the need to proactively do it.

I have some mixed feelings about this

But (and don't hate me for this) If theads joins the fediverse it could actually bring a large user base over

And ofcourse once meta gets greedy the fediverse should do what it's designed for and prevent any large company from owning the fediverse

It could also convince a decent portion of the threads userbase to move over to lemmy or mastodon much easier then they would of been able to in the past since they will already be so close

Tl;Dr Allow meta into the fediverse but if it's shit then defederate them aka do what this system was designed for
